Review

"Achieving Democracy provides undergraduate students with all the elements needed to think about the various aspects of democratization around the world. The volume explores processes of democratization in the first, second and third waves as well as current debates on democracy promotion. This book challenges students to test theories of democratization, thus asking them to take a proactive role vis-a-vis one of the most important topics of our times. Strongly recommended."- Ariel C. Armony, Director, Center for Latin American Studies and Weeks Professor in Latin American Studies Professor of International Studies, University of Miami, USA.

"Achieving Democracy examines democracy historically so that readers understand how its definition and practice have evolved over time. It offers carefully selected case studies of democracy and valuable pedagogical aids, such as hypothesis testing exercises and discussion questions at the end of each section." - Christine A. Gustafson, Department of Politics, Saint Anselm College, USA.

"Achieving Democracy gives students a clear and lively introduction to theories of democratization and the conceptual tools they need both to understand and to challenge those theories. At a time when the politics of democratization continue to surprise us, it will provide a valuable resource for students and teachers alike." -Michael Goodhart, University of Pittsburgh, USA.
